The seminar series exposes scholars to diverse perspectives across academia, industry, policy, and applied research related to AI sentience and the broader study of intelligent systems. The series aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and critical reflection by bringing together researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders working at the intersection of AI, cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy, governance, and society.

We warmly invite mentors and community members to volunteer as speakers, suggest external speakers, or act as session hosts. If you would like to give or propose a seminar, please contact the  program team . Topics may include scientific advances, research methods, interdisciplinary perspectives, career paths, or lessons learned from practice.
